No matter what, I've always been an optimistic person.

I'm an optimistic person, so I like to leave my readers with a sense of hopefulness.

I was always a very happy, optimistic person.

Optimistic people play a disproportionate role in shaping our lives. Their decisions make a difference; they are inventors, entrepreneurs, political and military leaders - not average people. They got to where they are by seeking challenges and taking risks.

I'm an optimistic person.

I was an optimistic person, really bossy, gregarious and outspoken.

I think that I am a deeply optimistic person.

Whereas in the past optimism had been regarded as rather shallow - because 'oh well, it's just your temperament, you happen to be just a cheerful sort of person' - what I wanted to do was to establish that in fact it is the pessimists who are allowing all kinds of errors to creep into their work.

I don't think in terms of optimism and pessimism when writing a story. I am telling a story.

Even in a gleefully negative comic, there is optimism, although it's slightly hidden: It comes out through a comic character's sheer tenacity. He keeps going and trying to find some sort of fulfillment regardless of his perpetual failure record. That's a form of hope, a form of optimism. Really hokey I know, but it's true.
